@Grim: You bastard. Seriously, that is way too unpredictable to understand/allow. Reality-bending Semblances should be best left alone.

Do the Arcana have a super cool hidden lair with rising seats◊ based on rank?

The thing is that it is incredibly annoying for it to go like this.

"Oh I hit them" "LEL NOPE" endlessly. Sure it's a 50/50 chance, but that doesn't make it less annoying.

Also can I get Justice Arcana or not?

Here's a thought: What if Grim literally flips a coin to determine the outcome?

So, mind if I ask, which Arcanas are still left? I was tempted to pick Justice, but it seemed Lior has beat me to it.

Hierophant, Temperance, Star...

Also, Ferg, do you want me to just timeskip and make the debriefing a flashback? So you can jump in?

Er, no answer to my question?

I suppose that would be the best course of action, wouldn't it?

Also, guess that I'll try to think something with a Star then.

Wait, You guys think that the coin semblance is broken? Are you kidding me? That has the most glaringly exploitable weakness I've ever seen in a luck based power.

I don't really care if it's broken so much as I care that it is annoying. Also, please elaborate.

Literally the who semblance relies on a coin. So if the arcana has no coin they can't use their semblance. When you couple that with the fact that luck based characters tend to rely on that power as a crutch it would essentially mean if you destroy the coin you win the fight.

Exactly. I had written down that she is characterized by lacking other skills; and is overly reliant on her Semblance. I think she'd be a little bit genre savvy and have a whole purse full of coins, though.

In my revised version, the coin has to land in her hand to activate. The ability activates on the last attack that occurred. Also, once the ability is activated she can't cancel the decision.

edit: no spoilers

Oh. Never mind then.

That still doesn't cancel everything, it just sounds like something that will be... Annoying to fight.

It's like an opponent that switches ghosting off and on randomly.

Also will Arcana really recruit someone that can't really fight without luck? That doesn't sound right for them to send her on missions that require fighting. Or skills.

Now that I've explained all the weaknesses I'm not sure it's worth keeping the ability anymore. It wouldn't be fun to discover the weaknesses in-universe when they're all meta-knowledge already.

Since with those weaknesses the ability is less useful, I think I can make her slightly less reliant on it now.

@ Lior: About Justice, you should ask Aqua.

@ Ferg: Right. Timeskip done, and you can just jump in.

Started keeping up with my recap in real-time so I don't get swamped with it. I actually expected to get saddled with five straight pages of combat but apparently my luck is better than I think it is, since the fight just ended.

I will start writing the recap after my lunch.

Damn it, I had an amazing idea for the Devil! Why did I have to have my phone confiscated last night? (TT__TT)

Yo Aqua, you mind givin' me the Justice Arcana spot?

I'll take ... the Star, I guess?

...Sure. I'm going to call dibs on Temperance, though.

I request a rivalry for Naima with one of the Arcana. Cuz why not?

Magician for Ghatz and Naima, obviously. He will continue to hit on her.

About time I started the Recap, so I'll probably not respond for a bit while writing it. So don't involve Al with anything please.

Judgement will be fun to write, heh.
